The Maker Movement

The Maker Movement
Preface I’ve been so busy making making things, making a hackerspace at FamiLAB, making a Maker Faire, talking about Making our Community better, and launching a maker-focused foundation that I don’t update this page often enough… I originally wrote this because I was constantly answering “What is a Maker?” – but I don’t get the question anymore – and that is a good thing. We’ve formed The Maker Effect Foundation to activate and amplify the efforts of makers as they learn, build and work together in their communities, please visit our website to learn more. If you live in Florida and consider yourself a Maker – please visit one of the hackerspaces / makerspaces listed below, and attend Maker Faires – you’ll meet awesome people and find some great ways to connect your personal passion to organizations that need your support! It is a great time to be a “Maker”! Makers have been on the “margins” for a long time – but what caused this move from the “margins to the mainstream?”

Présentation | Maker Faire Paris Maker Faire est le plus grand événement au monde qui regroupe ateliers, présentations et conférences autour des thèmes de la créativité, la fabrication et le mouvement Do it Yourself (Faites les vous même). Maker Faire est un évènement pour tous les adeptes des technologies, artisans, éducateurs, inventeurs, hobbyistes, ingénieurs, clubs de science, auteurs, artistes ou encore étudiants. Tous ces “Makers” viennent à la Maker Faire pour présenter ce qu’ils font et partager ce qu’ils ont appris avec un public composé de familles, de professionnels et d’amateurs curieux de découvrir le phénomène du Maker Movement. Le Maker Movement Depuis 2005, le magazine américain Make fédère le grand public autour du Maker Movement par le biais de son magazine qui propose des tutoriels pour fabriquer, soit même, des objets. Lors de ces événements, le public découvre le Maker Movement au travers de démonstrations, d’ateliers et de conférences. L’histoire des Maker Faire Qu’est-ce qu’un Maker ? Articles :

flux | Hackerspaces – The Beginning (the book) In December of 2008, a group of hackers was sitting on the floor with faces aglow with laptop light cruising the internet and skyping friends in and listening to death metal. It was 12 days before 25c3. Astera and I had a conversation that went something like this: B: There should be a book. The twelve days we had was until CCC started. Within a week we had been scorched by a flame war, gotten a lot of both written and photographic material submitted and it seemed likely that the book would happen. The 12 days came and went and still the submissions kept coming. Download HackerSpaces: The Beginning! This book documents where the hackerspace movement was in December of 2008. We did this because we wanted it to exist and so it is a reward in itself. After these years, the book is finally free in the world as a pdf. Build, Unite, Multiply!

Culture maker Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Un panneau dans la Silicon Valley qui exhorte l'automobiliste : "Inventez.". La culture maker, de l'anglais make signifiant « fabriquer », est une culture (ou sous-culture) contemporaine constituant une branche de la culture Do it yourself (DIY) (qu'on peut traduire en français par « faites-le vous-même ») tournée vers la technologie. Valeurs[modifier | modifier le code] La culture maker met l'accent sur l'apprentissage par la pratique dans un cadre social. Hackerspaces et Fablabs[modifier | modifier le code] L'éclosion de la culture maker est très liée à celle des hackerspaces (littéralement “espaces de hackers” en anglais), fab labs (ou « fablabs » pour « fabrication laboratory », laboratoire de fabrication en anglais) et autres makerspaces, qui sont maintenant nombreux dans le monde. En France on peut citer l’Artilect[8], les Fabriques du Ponant[9], l’Electrolab[10] ou le Faclab[11]. Le Petit Fablab de Paris. Maker Faire en 2007 à San Mateo.

Horizon Ventures, Welcome to Horizon Ventures The Maker Movement: Commanding The Future Of Innovation Photo courtesy of the Exploratorium via Flickr. Ranging from crafts to robotics, a modern culture of DIY “making” is gaining commercial, corporate, and educational traction beyond the niche communities from whence it came. The Maker Movement, as it’s called, promotes a culture that democratizes innovation, flips consumption on its head, and according optimistic leaders in the field, could spur a third industrial revolution in the future — one of personal manufacturing. Here’s some AHA! 135 million U.S. adults are “makers”Market for 3D-printing and other maker services expected to reach $6 billion by 2017Makers fuel businesses pump $29 billion into world economy each year First things first: What is the Maker Movement? Today’s maker culture is a modern iteration of a long history of DIY (do it yourself) trends. Take for example the Arts and Crafts movement of the late Victorian period. This movement fizzled out in the early 1900s, as it was not a viable economic alternative to factories.
